[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 446500, member: 7664"] Hello, I have been labelled by my school district as a whiner/complainer/excessive parent. My son has been mistreated so many times emotionally and physically that he has suffered a great loss of trust and education. The school district knows how to prevent law suits and protects their own. Even when I have gotten 'insiders' to come forward they are quickly put back in their place and warned not to come forward anymore. My repuatation precedes me and leaves me unable or severly incapacitated for advocacy efforts for my son. I feel I give lots of leeway and understanding, however if things become out of hand, I will always say something! It is not perceived in this way. I am very angry that I cannot be heard. My voice has been taken by a few key people in administration whose word would always be taken over mine. I think about this every day and have taken on pursuing some sort of accountability for the school as a "part-time" job of sorts. I cannot let the past go because it continues to impact my son's education. I have pursued many avenues to resolution (advocacy agencies, police, education dept. in my state) and all have reasons why this is too hard to pursue and therefore are marginally helpful. What I am asking of you parents, is how do you move on from this type of situation? How do you stop pursuing justice? My son was diagnosed PTSD in relation to his school experience and yet no one is held accountable. Insight into how to handle this is appreciated... [/QUOTE]
